This is a great set for many reasons, but the quality of the two products in the set is tremendous. With a small pocket knife and a larger knife with more substantial features, it covers all bases. The One Handed Trekker is one of my favorite knives from the Swiss Army collection. I have one in my car and one in my hiking pack. It provides the best wood saw on a knife that is out there and the helpful feature of the one handed blade locking when it place is not only helpful buy extremely safe to its owners.

I have had a Victorinox Swiss Army knife at some point in my life ever since I was in the Scouts. The Saw blade and the liner lock on the partially serrated knife blade are the reasons I love the Trekker. The black textured finish on the handle is icing. It is hard to speak on the quality of Victorinox unless you have used some of the knock offs. I have and from the use of the knives to opening and closing the different tools one can tell the difference straight away. The tools open freely but only in the direction that they were intended to, no side to side movement. They close the same way, but not unexpectedly. They are like well made watches every part no matter how small or insignificant it may seem is made and engineered perfectly. The classic knife that is included is no exception. This is a knife that Victorinox could have cut corners on, or got lazy with years ago after the success with all their other items, but they haven't. The classic knife is a small perfect little ruby crafted as well as a one of their watches.

The only thing I don't like is that the lock for the main blade is set up for a left-handed user. It is still easy to open the knife with either hand, and closing it with the right hand is still do-able. I took it for a weekend hiking trip and it handled every task, from cooking to fire making, like a pro. 5 stars The following review received 1 helpful votes out of 1 total votes: Review Date: 2008-02-04 "Fantastic Knife" I was nodding my head the whole time while reading the previous review. This is perhaps one of the best knives I've ever had. Absolutely solid, lightweight, and sleek. The different tools and accesories are more than useful, I mean, I even learned to make old wooden flutes with this knife. and, of course, those aren't precsicely smooth flutes, but the tools in the knife cover the basics of flute making. Not that I recomend this knife for such a task, but rather to show the versatility of this wonderful instrument. This is the type of product in which you can fully rely. 5 stars | |
